Another way to take macro photos

[Eyesthruthelens]

Hi,
Today I took out my old wide converter, Kenko KRW-05.. still in good condition.. and remove the macro lens from the wide converter..
Hand held on my KM5D kit lens.. and I can start taking macro shots at few cm distance from the objects..

Here are some of the shots:

I think it will work well with the 50mm f1.7 lens..
Now I need to get 55->58mm filter ring.. anyone selling?

Thanks.. but if I buy from ebay (that is hceap) + shipping cost, may be too expensive.
BTW, anyone has any idea how much is the price in local shop?

Bought one 55-62 (not your 58mm) setup ring from local shop around $8-12 (can't remember), from one of those shop beside Cathay Photo. Not sure got 55-58 or not.
